Yes, it will be tricky, but the draw could have been soo much worse..

We should beat them of course, but it's a cup tie and we play in the UEFA-Cup a few days later, so some of the top players might get a rest in this one.

4 days in 9 games, tough, but good to see the blues often.

as we don't have the depth to rotate much, there will be a minimum of training (or none) during these weeks. Player will tire.

Sheff Wednesday with a full squad on form would be a walk in the park, even at Hillsborough.

I think sense should prevail and we should play a B team with some first team, some squad players and some reserves.
